Friends

And then we have our friends.

I love my friends.

No matter what we always have each other. No matter how many years go by or how long we have been apart - we love each other. I will always and forever love them...These two girls are some of those friends I love. We have been friends for about 30 years.

Some years we were unable to be separated....

many years we were separated...

some days we were so pissed at each other...

some days we couldn't leave each other's side.

I love them with my heart and soul. Yep, I am being that mushy, huggy girlfriend that is always a little too sappy...Remember the chocolate comercial that played pachebel way back when, Net? Yeah - you cried too. Just as sappy. We know each other way too well....yes Stella - you know that look: "Jen, what are you gonna do? Think about what you are about to say and do....Jen" You love me just the way I am. Ah - true love...Ok, that was pushing it!! LOL!!!!We just had yet another great "girlie" day: Salon with Net hacking all of my hair off - and it looks so good!!! (After all of these years she still does a great hacking job!!!LOL)

Then Poolside for another Girl's Pool Party. (Thanks Erica, Toria, Jessica, AlyCat, and my little Iz for joining us kids!) After sunnng and swimming it was Sushi time! Mmmmmmm! Can't resist Sushi - yum!!! Glad I didn't eat all of that before I tried to swim...hahahahahahaha! And then the planning for the next piercing and tatooing day...here's to another tat and ring! cheers!!! We have all gone home, but still called each other tonite..Why? Because we said that we would. Forever silly, sapmaster girls!How have we stayed friends so long? Longer than most marriages or even longer than most family members can really bare to be considered family?

Wow - The basics:

We let each other go and be free to make our own mistakes and not judge each other (too harshly) for our decisions....

If we made mistakes, we apologized - - - eventually....

We never forget to hug and say I love you....

We understand that for every bit that we have in common, we are different - - - and we respect that....

We don't get jealous of other friendships we all have - - - because we know no matter what we have always and will always have each other....

The world is a big place to enjoy with many people to share it with....

We share our hopes and dreams, our failures and bad sides, our loves and losses - - - and always are able to smile, laugh, cry and learn with each other....

We can laugh at each other's ---- um ----- gracefulness.

Why? Because we all have our "special" moments....Thank you for loving me and allowing me the chance to love you back. You kids are the best buddies - ever.

Thank you for loving me when I made really bad mistakes, when I was a bitch, when I ran away and hid, when I put a silly pic of you on FB, when I have just been a damn goof....

As Plant sings so well (with Crow, too): Thank you....remember that if the sun refused to shine - I would still be lovin you. And if those mountains crumbled to the sea - I would still be lovin you.

Hugs!!!!!
